Hyundai i20 Owner's Manual page 335

• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
especially careful when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed can cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident
WARNING
Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a higher gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slippery
roads. The vehicle may slip
causing an accident.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•
ALWAYS wear your seatbelt.
In a collision, an unbelted
occupant is significantly more
likely to be seriously injured
or killed than a properly belt-
ed occupant.
•
Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
•
Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•
The risk of rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control
of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•
Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.

•
In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.
•
HYUNDAI recommends you
follow all posted speed limits.
